His mother, Malva, (professional musician, experienced educator) developed innovative, stimulating, and intriguing situations that fostered connection and communication.She learned the scientific principles of ABA, then expanded far beyond them in creative and artistic ways, emphasizing a loving and positive connection. This provided a healthy foundation for building up Benjamin's life-skills, systematically, bit by bit, in a way that his uniquely wired brain could process. She also sought out the expertise of various therapists and health professionals.As Benjamin progressed, he was gradually mainstreamed at a Waldorf-inspired public charter school with the support of special-ed resources. Throughout his school years, extending into adolescence and beyond, Malva continued her intensive work with Benjamin outside of school hours, regularly interfacing with his teachers and building strong bridges of communication. She also pursued professional work and hobbies while Benjamin was in the classroom.When Benjamin was still in high-school (2012), he began giving inspirational presentations on living with autism, drawing on his strengths as a developing performer, musician, and speaker with a great sense of humor. Since 2016, Benjamin has also been performing sensory-friendly concerts. His activities on stage have built confidence and self-esteem, while providing the valuable service of educating and uplifting his audiences. Nevertheless, Benjamin continues dealing with the ongoing challenges that autism presents.Please visit our website at BenjaminBreakingBarriers.comView Benjamin's 12-minute TEDx-talk on YouTube: Breaking Barriers of Autism - The Power of Kindness and Friendship Helpful and inspiring autism boo Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
